I agree with you red...

Domination doesnt require Respect. For a relationship based on D/s in our societty it does.

But the Alpha Dog dominates the lower dogs, and they dont necassarily have respect for one and eachother.

I think people in the BDSM confuse Domination as always beign something that isnt abusive... When in Nature without society, Domination often goes hand to hand with abuse...

We as intellectual people can make the seperation for a healthy relationship and an abusive one.

That brings me to another point... Why is it that almost everyone in the Wellfare office is "UGLY". I mean, out of maybe 100+ people there, maybe only a few of them were "attractive".

I would say 90% of them needed to buy a tooth brush. I understand the lack of dental care afforded to the poor. But why is the poor in this country so overweight? Arent they suppose to be hungry?

I know, this is insensitive, but its also very honest...
